Addressing a TLS Vulnerability

SSL/TLS vulnerabilities can allow systems to be impersonated or communications compromised, so it's important to address them.

It’s important to note that addressing SSL/TLS vulnerabilities can vary between providers, so consult your provider’s help documentation.

  1. Update your SSL/TLS configuration: Update your SSL/TLS configuration to address the vulnerabilities Radar has found. This may involve upgrading to a newer version of SSL/TLS, or making changes to your SSL/TLS configuration to address specific vulnerabilities.

  2. Check your certificates: Make sure your SSL/TLS certificates are up to date and properly configured. In particular, check that your certificates have not expired, and that they are configured to use the correct cryptographic algorithms. You can use a tool like SSL Checker.

  3. Implement HSTS: HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a security feature that helps protect against SSL/TLS vulnerabilities. Implement HSTS to ensure that all communication between your server and clients is encrypted.

  4. Test your SSL/TLS configuration: Once you've made changes to your SSL/TLS configuration, test it to make sure it is working correctly. Use a tool like SSL Labs to test your SSL/TLS configuration and identify any remaining vulnerabilities.
